Appointments for Specialist Clinics

Patients with chronic diseases such as Asthma, COPD, Coronary Heart Disease, etc. will be offered an appointment for annual review. However, your Nurse Specialist might also want to see you on other occasions.

Appointments for specialist clinics are available most afternoons, depending upon the specialty (excluding Wednesdays and public holidays).

Receptionists have been asked by the doctors not to offer any "on the day" appointments.

You will be asked to leave a contact telephone number and a doctor will call you back to discuss the patient's symptoms and concerns.

If the doctor feels that it is necessary for the patient to be seen, an appointment will be offered for later in the day (probably during the afternoon).

These changes were introduced to help protect our patients against swine flu infection. Patients and staff felt that the system worked well so we decided to continue to deal with all "on the day" requests this way.

Home Visits

Our doctors typically see four patients in the practice in the time it takes to do a single home visit (not counting the travelling time). For this reason, we ask our patients to come to the practice if at all possible.

However, we can visit you at home if your condition means you can not attend the surgery. Please ring before 10am (028 3832 7626 - option 2) to arrange a visit and let us know if your condition is urgent.

Telephone Advice

We offer telephone appointments each day for patients who wish to speak to a doctor, but do not need a face to face appointment.

Please telephone the surgery before 10am (028 3832 7626 - option 2), you will be asked to leave a telephone contact number and a doctor will return your call.
